Rig Veda 1.116.6 — Mandala 1, Sukta 116, Mantra 6
Sukta 1.116
यमश्विना ददथुः श्वेतमश्वमघाश्वाय शश्वदित्स्वस्ति । तद्वां दात्रं महि कीर्तेन्यं भूत्पैद्वो वाजी सदमिद्धव्यो अर्यः ॥
yám aśvinā dádathuḥ śvetám aśvám aghā́śvāya śáśvad ít svastí | tád vāṃ dātráṃ máhi kīrtényam bhūt paidvó vājī sádham íd dhávyó aryáḥ ||
The white horse you gave, O Aśvins, to Aghāśva, for enduring well-being. Great and worthy of acclaim was that gift of yours; thus Paidva, the winner in force, became ever a fit offerer, a noble one. So grant us too the ‘white horse’—the pure impulsion of illumined energy—so that lasting welfare is established and our offering-life becomes steadfast and noble.
